The National Monuments Service's description
This record refers to ‘mounds or hillocks’ which according to a 1945 report are located in Kilscohagh townland c. 100m distant from the location of a human burial (MA111-074001-), a church (MA111-074002-) and a graveyard (MA111-074004-). The nature of these mounds is very uncertain; no details in the report suggested that they are archaeologically significant; they may simply be natural features. Their precise location within the townland was not recorded. (Cahill and Sikora 2011, vol. 2, 498).
